  Amy Schumer, welcome to Call Her Daddy.

• 3:24Speaker 01

  Thank you so very much, Alex Cooper.

• 3:26Alex Cooper?

  I am so happy we're finally meeting.

• 3:29Speaker 01

  Me too.

• 3:29Alex Cooper?

  No, I need to tell you, I was saying this this morning to my friends. I said, okay, have you ever sent a DM and forgot you sent it? And then they respond and you're like, wait, what did I send? That was me to you. So, I, for context, everyone listening, I sent Amy a DM in 2021. I don't even remember who I was at that point in my life.

• 3:48Speaker 01

  No, you were not yet born.

• 3:50Alex Cooper?

  Yes. And I send her basically saying like, you gotta come on the show, like, I love you, blah, blah, blah. Three and a half years later, I see you saying like, oh my gosh, just saw this. And it was just in the preview. So I'm like, what the fuck did I say? Like, I'm like, what did I say to this woman?

• 4:04Speaker 01

  Like, were you drunk?

• 4:05Alex Cooper?

  No, literally. Like, I'm like hammered or high. And I'm like, Amy. And thank God, you were like sweet and nice. And you're like, okay, I'll like see you soon.

• 4:13Speaker 01

  Well, just so you know, both Megan Thee Stallion and Britney Spears has one of those shady DMs for me sitting in their inbox. So I know the feeling. And never has it been read, never have they been read. But I, you know, I was so happy to see that.

• 4:27Alex Cooper?

  What is your angle with Meghan The Sallion? What are you trying to get in there for?

• 4:31Speaker 01

  I don't remember. No, that's the thing. You send them, you know, you're like, you know, you feel connected to someone. And actually I have met her, I had met her at like, I think an Oscar thing.

• 4:43Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 4:44Speaker 01

  And when we both won Oscars, I don't know if you, in your research came up, but I won an Oscar and so did Meghan.

• 4:50Alex Cooper?

  Maybe so.

• 4:50Speaker 01

  And so I think I just wanted to be like, should we have a friendship? You know, and she, you know, in return has, you know, not followed me. So I respect, I think she's smart. I think that's a smart move.

• 5:04Alex Cooper?

  I'm obsessed. And I won't leave the Brittany one to the imagination.

• 5:07Speaker 01

  No, Brittany has it, but she mentioned me in her book. And god damn, that felt amazing.

Oh, my God, that's so nice. I love you too. Okay, good. But, if I were to have one note? Yeah.

• 8:27Speaker 01

  This mic is real heavy.

• 8:29Alex Cooper?

  Oh my god.

• 8:30Speaker 01

  Do you, do you ever think like, no, I don't care. Look, I'm a stand up. Like I hold a mic.

• 8:34Alex Cooper?

  Just roast me.

• 8:35Speaker 01

  But this is like an actual weight.

• 8:37Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 8:37Speaker 01

  Like, I mean, I want to support the brand. Obviously, I'm honored to be on this show. You're, you're, you're a, a, you know, a Sultan. Um, but this is a heavy microphone.

• 8:49Alex Cooper?

  You're exhausted.

• 8:49Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 8:50Alex Cooper?

  The thing is, is I-

• 8:52Speaker 01

  And I swim, but I'm like, this is 20 pounds.

• 8:54Alex Cooper?

  Can I just clear my name for a second? I always have mic stands, always.

• 8:59Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 8:59Alex Cooper?

  You are the exception.

• 9:01Speaker 01

  Cause I'm like, I'm sweating and my hand's sweating, but it's fine and I'm honored.

• 9:05Alex Cooper?

  It's only because this is not my normal studio. We didn't know where to put the mic stand and I didn't want it to cover your face because you look gorgeous.

• 9:11Speaker 01

  No, thank you.

• 9:12Alex Cooper?

  So you're gonna have to buck up.

• 9:14Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 9:14Alex Cooper?

  And you're gonna have to do a little weight training today.

• 9:17Speaker 01

  Yes, okay.

• 9:17Alex Cooper?

  So shut the fuck up.

• 9:18Speaker 01

  Okay, let me engage my core and move on.

• 9:21Alex Cooper?

  Now let me tell you like a loving story while you engage the core.

• 9:24Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 9:25Alex Cooper?

  It was the year that Trainwreck came out and I live in Boston. I'm in college and I am literally at like what feels like the end of the road. I am so fucking miserable. I'm at the worst place in my life, what feels like it because like a boy was breaking up with me.

• 9:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 9:38Alex Cooper?

  And I was miserable. My mom flies to Boston and it's like, I have to cheer you up. It's getting really scary over there. And it is like a random Tuesday and we go to the movie theater and I'm walking around because my mom's like, we gotta just see a movie. And I'm like, Trainwreck, like me, like, let's just see it. Like, here we go. I walk in, I sob the entire movie and then when I leave, I'm like, oh, I'm a new fucking bitch. Like I'm gonna reverse the roles on the men. Fuck this shit. Let's fucking go. And that movie, I know it sounds corny, but like you didn't know me at that point, but it literally changed my mindset in that moment and it helped me through like a really tough time.

• 10:12Speaker 01

  I'm tearing.

• 10:12Alex Cooper?

  No, stop.

• 10:13Speaker 01

  No, I'm really tearing. It might be because the mic is so heavy, but I really-

• 10:16Alex Cooper?

  It's not that-

• 10:17Speaker 01

  That's a dream for someone to say that to me and for you to say that to me. I know, I know. It's like, it's hard to give a compliment and it's hard to take a compliment. But I'm taking it right, right in right now. This is close to the Brittany mentioning me in the book and I'm not, I'm not fucking with you.

• 10:33Alex Cooper?

  I am honored that you feel that. Of course. No. So I'm a huge fan, so thank you for being here.

• 10:37Speaker 01

  I'm gonna die in office for-

• 10:38Alex Cooper?

  No, it's good.

• 10:38Speaker 01

  Quite a while.

• 10:39Alex Cooper?

  It's good. It's good. Um, okay. I'm gonna ask you a bunch of just random questions to get us started. Are you ready?

• 10:44Speaker 01

  Okay, okay, I'm ready.

• 10:45Alex Cooper?

  Okay, ready?

• 10:45Speaker 01

  Okay, I'm ready.

• 10:46Alex Cooper?

  Whatever comes to your mind, you're just gonna answer. Ready?

• 10:48Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 10:49Alex Cooper?

  How would your friends describe you in three words?

• 10:52Speaker 01

  Loyal.

• 10:54Speaker 01

  Psychotic.

• 10:56Speaker 01

  Funny.

• 10:57Alex Cooper?

  Love.

• 10:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 10:58Alex Cooper?

  What is your comfort movie?

• 10:59Speaker 01

  The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock.

• 11:02Alex Cooper?

  Oh.

• 11:03Speaker 01

  I know, So Hack, right? But I mean, you know, everybody's a couple of comfort movies, but for some reason, that movie.

• 11:11Alex Cooper?

  Gets ya.

• 11:11Speaker 01

  Gets me.

• 11:12Alex Cooper?

  Gets you in your field.

• 11:13Speaker 01

  And I know this is gonna be like over when this comes out, but like, I'm so crazy about Wicked right now. Did you see it?

• 11:19Alex Cooper?

  I haven't seen it yet.

• 11:19Speaker 01

  Okay. Everyone's gonna be like, Wicked? This was, yeah, yeah, yeah. What year was this?

• 11:23Alex Cooper?

  Like, it'll be Kind of Pregnant, all, like, it's the Wicked, but yeah.

• 11:25Speaker 01

  But obviously, Kind of Pregnant's like the movie everyone's talking about, but.

• 11:29Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, it's the year.

• 11:30Speaker 01

  I just needed to get it off my chest.

• 11:31Alex Cooper?

  Another Oscar coming.

• 11:32Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 11:33Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay, what is the craziest fan interaction you've ever had?

• 11:36Speaker 01

  I guess them eating me out?

• 11:39Alex Cooper?

  What?

• 11:40Speaker 01

  Right? I mean, that's crazy.

• 11:42Alex Cooper?

  That would definitely top the chart.

• 11:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, okay, you know what, I'm just gonna get right into this here.

• 11:48Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 11:48Speaker 01

  Okay, and I've never said this anywhere.

• 11:50Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 11:51Speaker 01

  But when I was sort of at my kind of peak, like touring arenas, whatever. And I'll say it, because this is where you say it. Were they a professional athlete?

• 12:03Alex Cooper?

  Sure.

• 12:04Speaker 01

  Did I text them, like, late at night and they came over, went down on me, and then I said, I'm so tired, I'm so sorry, and they left? Yes. And you know who you are?

• 12:17Alex Cooper?

  Not the look into the camera.

• 12:18Speaker 01

  And that's happened a couple of times and I'm not proud of it, and I think like, you know, and, and the ambulance is good for this moment. Because this is like when I actually get actually canceled. No, but it's all about, you know, you wanna be a giving lover and whatever, whatever. But at this moment, it was like, you know, some people like will blow a guy and that's the end of the night, so I kind of, you know, did it my way. To quote Frank Sinatra.

• 12:45Alex Cooper?

  First of all.

• 12:46Speaker 01

  Hold on.

• 12:46Alex Cooper?

  Mm-hmm. A professional athlete was a fan of yours.

• 12:50Speaker 01

  Why is that so shocking?

• 12:51Alex Cooper?

  No, no, sorry, no, why I'm saying that?

• 12:55Alex Cooper?

  It's not.

• 12:56Speaker 01

  You know, when you're young and you're in the spotlight, you know, you, you, I mean, I look, I know you. Bam.

• 13:03Alex Cooper?

  No, I'm more saying like, was he at like a fan event?

• 13:06Speaker 01

  No, I've never, I don't think I've ever been to a fan event, but he was at a show.

• 13:09Alex Cooper?

  He was at a show.

• 13:10Speaker 01

  He was at a show.

• 13:10Alex Cooper?

  Can I ask of all the sports, what sport? And then we're moving on.

• 13:13Speaker 01

  Baseball.

• 13:14Alex Cooper?

  Have you had sex with my ex-boyfriend?

• 13:16Speaker 01

  No.

• 13:16Alex Cooper?

  And we didn't have sex.

• 13:18Speaker 01

  Oh, right.

• 13:18Alex Cooper?

  Babe.

• 13:18Speaker 01

  Right, sorry, sorry, sorry.

• 13:19Alex Cooper?

  Went down on me and then I yawned and was like, it's been a, I mean, that's a moment in Trainwreck and that's from real, real life. I love that so much for you. No, it's kind of amazing. That's like a full circle moment. I'm, I'm appreciating that story right now. That's good for Call or Daddy. Thank you for the tea.

• 13:32Speaker 01

  You're, you're welcome. And like, that's not, you know, the most popular move that gets the best response, but that's the truth.

• 13:40Alex Cooper?

  I kind of feel like that would keep them wanting way more.

• 13:43Speaker 01

  I, that, I, that's happened probably three times in my, in my life. When I was in my hay.

• 13:48Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 13:49Speaker 01

  Okay. And, uh, and what, you know, one of them was furious, I remember. And, um, and one of them was like totally fine with it. And you know what? The baseball player was pretty cool about it.

• 14:03Alex Cooper?

  Well, because I guess like the furious makes sense because it's like, wow, are you saying I'm that bad? Like you're falling asleep.

• 14:09Speaker 01

  No, I, I think it's like, I just made you come and now you're kicking me out. And I'm like, oh my God, what does it feel like to be a woman? You know? And again, this mic is so heavy.

• 14:23Alex Cooper?

  Shut up.

• 14:23Speaker 01

  I know, but you're young. My bones are old and they're confused.

• 14:27Alex Cooper?

  What if you prop it up on the pillow? No.

• 14:30Speaker 01

  Okay. Okay. I'm glad we tried it.

• 14:33Alex Cooper?

  Go on. Who would be your celebrity hall pass?

• 14:36Speaker 01

  Okay, okay. Um, I'm going to say either Christian Bale or Beyonce.

• 14:42Alex Cooper?

  The range.

• 14:43Speaker 01

  Yeah. But I don't think I would get a hall pass. I would give a hall pass.

• 14:47Alex Cooper?

  You wouldn't get.

• 14:48Speaker 01

  But I wouldn't get one. No.

• 14:50Alex Cooper?

  But it's good to like, think about it. Like it's, I think it's even better when it's like a dream and like, I don't know if you'd actually even want to do it.

• 14:56Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:56Alex Cooper?

  It's kind of like, don't be your heroes.

• 14:58Speaker 01

  How many can I have?

• 14:59Alex Cooper?

  You can have as many as you want.

• 15:01Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 15:02Alex Cooper?

  Method man?

• 15:03Speaker 01

  Can I get my phone out? No. Um, yeah, yes, yes. And he knows, and he knows, and he's, his beautiful wife and whatever, and he's like, so doesn't, he's not interested. Yeah. But why? Did he say something to you?

• 15:15Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 15:16Speaker 01

  Well.

• 15:19Alex Cooper?

  You know, now that you say that.

• 15:20Speaker 01

  Wait, can I ask who yours is?

• 15:22Alex Cooper?

  Specifically as the pirate Johnny Depp, like as.

• 15:25Speaker 01

  Interesting.

• 15:26Alex Cooper?

  As the pirate.

• 15:27Speaker 01

  Like, I'm shocked.

• 15:28Alex Cooper?

  With the.

• 15:29Speaker 01

  You want the makeup.

• 15:30Alex Cooper?

  I want the makeup.

• 15:31Speaker 01

  Jewels.

• 15:31Alex Cooper?

  The hair.

• 15:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:33Alex Cooper?

  I want the little cloak, like the little skirt.

• 15:36Speaker 01

  Right.

• 15:36Alex Cooper?

  I want the whole thing.

• 15:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get those rings.

• 15:39Alex Cooper?

  What is your most embarrassing interaction in Hollywood?

• 15:41Speaker 01

  Oh, my God, so many, so many, so many, so many. Um, okay, this is a long time ago, but I was at an Equinox Flex.

• 15:53Alex Cooper?

  Get it.

• 15:53Speaker 01

  And Alec Baldwin was there. This is, this is 25 years ago, okay? And he was get, he was getting water. And I was behind him at the water fountain and I was like, and I quoted Glenn Gary Glenn Ross and I said, water is for closers. And I should have killed myself instantly. I don't remember, like, I blacked out because it was so stupid. I don't know if he acknowledged me, but I am sorry.

• 16:20Alex Cooper?

  Did you ever see him again?

• 16:22Speaker 01

  Yes, yes. He's been nothing but really nice to me.

• 16:25Alex Cooper?

  Did he remember that moment or no?

• 16:27Speaker 01

  I don't think so.

• 16:28Alex Cooper?

  He just never brought that.

• 16:29Speaker 01

  I didn't, I didn't, I didn't. I don't know. I don't know. I can't remember anything. Like, do you do, you do drugs?

• 16:35Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, like I did, but not anymore.

• 16:37Speaker 01

  Okay, right, good.

• 16:39Alex Cooper?

  Good.

• 16:39Speaker 01

  No, no, I've never done cocaine. I've never done ecstasy.

• 16:41Alex Cooper?

  You've never done cocaine?

• 16:42Speaker 01

  Never cocaine, never ecstasy. Mushrooms and weed, you know.

• 16:46Alex Cooper?

  I'm not like a mushroom girl.

• 16:48Speaker 01

  You're not?

• 16:48Alex Cooper?

  I don't know if I need, like, I'm worried it's gonna, like, affect my brain. Like, in the morning, I'm like.

• 16:53Speaker 01

  That's smart.

• 16:53Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 16:54Speaker 01

  No, that's good because, like, it has. I, I'm like, I won't remember what we talked about today.

• 17:00Alex Cooper?

  You're not with us anymore.

• 17:01Speaker 01

  No, I am no longer with us.

• 17:02Alex Cooper?

  But at least you're still funny.

• 17:03Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 17:04Alex Cooper?

  Um, what is the craziest rumor you've ever heard about yourself?

• 17:07Speaker 01

  Um, oh, God, so many. Uh, like, you know, there's so much out there about me. Oh, well, this is fun. Um, at my wedding, People Magazine reported some celebrities who were there. And they, uh, said that Jennifer Aniston was there, and she was not there. But my mom, who is seventy five,

• 17:31Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 17:31Speaker 01

  Said, I think what happened was,

• 17:34Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 17:34Speaker 01

  From behind, I look exactly like Jennifer Aniston. And I'm like, you just had knee surgery and you're in your mid seventies, you know, but, but I just said, oh, okay.

• 17:45Alex Cooper?

  Oh, mom.

• 17:46Speaker 01

  So that was, yeah.

• 17:49Alex Cooper?

  That tells me a lot about your mom.

• 17:50Speaker 01

  That does tell you a lot about my mom. Yeah.

• 17:54Alex Cooper?

  We love your mom.

• 17:56Speaker 01

  Mom.

• 17:57Alex Cooper?

  I love a little deluge.

• 17:59Speaker 01

  Uh, I mean, I've got it, obviously. I am so confused.

• 18:03Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, this is good. Um, okay, what is, what is one of your biggest pet peeves?

• 18:08Speaker 01

  Okay, this is, this is really controversial.

• 18:11Alex Cooper?

  Oh, sit, why are you looking away from?

• 18:13Speaker 01

  Because I'm, I'm, I'm already regretting saying it.

• 18:15Alex Cooper?

  Just go.

• 18:16Speaker 01

  And it's not really even a thing.

• 18:17Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 18:17Speaker 01

  It's not even a pet peeve. Um, my pet peeve is men, but also,

• 18:27Speaker 01

  but also, um, and I already said men, right?

• 18:29Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, you said men.

• 18:30Speaker 01

  I said men. My other, my other, this is kind of like a fun little, not really, okay, okay, I have a couple now that I'm going.

• 18:37Alex Cooper?

  You gotta go.

• 18:37Speaker 01

  Pickleball annoys me.

• 18:39Alex Cooper?

  Have you ever played?

• 18:40Speaker 01

  No.

• 18:40Alex Cooper?

  Me either.

• 18:41Speaker 01

  I'm just hating from a distance.

• 18:42Alex Cooper?

  Me too.

• 18:42Speaker 01

  So loud. And if you can vape while you're playing the sport, is it a sport? And I, I don't like how a lot of people, and I don't know if you do this, so I'm so sorry.

• 18:54Alex Cooper?

  Just hit me.

• 18:54Speaker 01

  Okay. The way that I think especially people, I don't know, both coasts.

• 19:00Alex Cooper?

  Say it.

• 19:00Speaker 01

  Have turned the word end into like a ten syllable word, like, and, and I'm like,

• 19:11Alex Cooper?

  We.

• 19:12Speaker 01

  What?

• 19:12Alex Cooper?

  Okay, I definitely don't do that.

• 19:14Speaker 01

  No, but do you know, you know what I mean, right?

• 19:16Alex Cooper?

  And, yeah, and, like, and let's keep it fucking moving.

• 19:18Speaker 01

  Right, right, but.

• 19:19Alex Cooper?

  And.

• 19:20Speaker 01

  It starts E. They go, and.

• 19:24Alex Cooper?

  Who the fuck are you hanging out with?

• 19:26Speaker 01

  No, you're gonna notice it now. You're gonna notice it now.

• 19:29Alex Cooper?

  I don't think I've ever noticed that.

• 19:30Speaker 01

  You're gonna listen back to the, um, so we were at the store, and.

• 19:35Alex Cooper?

  Oh, I know what you're talking about.

• 19:36Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying, right?

• 19:37Alex Cooper?

  When you put it in the. Context of that, done. Okay, I also agree with all of those things and you haven't insulted me yet. So this is good, which I'm fine if you roast me at some point in this interview, don't hold back. But I hate pickleball too. Actually, I've never played it, so I can't say that.

• 19:49Speaker 01

  I've never played it either. That doesn't mean we can't hate it. Yeah. Okay. That doesn't mean.

• 19:55Alex Cooper?

  Right. Just play tennis.

• 19:56Speaker 01

  Everyone's just so smug and they've got their racket and they're like, and they look so happy. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's just the joy that they're feeling.

• 20:04Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 20:04Speaker 01

  And I'll, and I'll never feel that joy. So I mean, I guess that's what it's really about.

• 20:08Alex Cooper?

  If you play, let me know and I'll like go for the first time with you.

• 20:10Speaker 01

  Okay, great. No, but I'll like tear a meniscus or something and I, like, I just, like, when people are like, you just hear these people, like, I got a pickleball injury and you're like, that's it.

• 20:22Alex Cooper?

  Loser.

• 20:22Speaker 01

  Absolutely. Get on a boat and leave. And guess who plays pickleball?

• 20:26Alex Cooper?

  Who?

• 20:27Speaker 01

  My mom, Jennifer Aniston.

• 20:31Alex Cooper?

  Jennifer Aniston plays pickleball.

• 20:33Speaker 01

  Jennifer Aniston, you heard it here first.

• 20:35Alex Cooper?

  What is the greatest length you've gone to get out of plans?

• 20:38Speaker 01

  Oh, this is fun. This is fun. So my dad is MS. He's in a wheelchair.

• 20:44Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 20:45Speaker 01

  Um, what was the question? No, I'm just kidding. No, I'm just kidding. So, but I love that you're, you're such a good interviewer.

• 20:50Alex Cooper?

  I am.

• 20:51Speaker 01

  May I give a compliment?

• 20:51Alex Cooper?

  Oh, sure. Of course.

• 20:53Speaker 01

  You're a great interviewer.

• 20:54Alex Cooper?

  Oh, my God, you haven't even gotten into it yet.

• 20:55Speaker 01

  No, no, not, not based on today. Not based on today.

• 21:01Speaker 01

  Wait, let me just get some of the hand sweat. Um, no, but wait, what was I talking? Okay. So my dad.

• 21:07Alex Cooper?

  Your dad.

• 21:07Speaker 01

  So my dad, so I was starting to date this comedian.

• 21:11Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 21:12Speaker 01

  I don't know if he still does comedy, but this is, you know, 20 years ago. And we were supposed to work a weekend together at this club, like in the middle of nowhere. And I was like, and the way he like kissed me, like he like, it was like soap opera, like he like had a real moment with me, you know, like slow. And I was like, I want to go home. And so I pretended like I didn't feel well. And then in the morning I texted my mom at like 5 a.m. And I was like, in an hour, call me and tell me that dad's in the hospital.

• 21:42Speaker 01

  And so I'm laying next to this guy. And so my mom, who is a real gangster, calls me, goes, your dad's in the hospital. And the guy's still sleeping and I'm trying to cry. Like, I'm like, oh, my God, what? You know, I have to leave on a plane, you know? So I think that's the biggest lie.

• 22:00Alex Cooper?

  No, no, no.

• 22:02Alex Cooper?

  Do you ever feel guilty about like doing a lie when it has to do with actual illness? Like, I think I like lied a couple of times about my grandma dying. And I like

• 22:12Speaker 01

  They're like, again?

• 22:14Alex Cooper?

  I was one of those people for a while, but it was to like each different man. So I was like, this isn't like making headway, like it's to different people. But then I started to be like, oh, fuck, like someone's gonna die because I keep saying someone's fucking dying.

• 22:24Speaker 01

  I know.

• 22:25Alex Cooper?

  But whatever.

• 22:26Speaker 01

  Um, yeah, but no, my dad lives on. He will not die.

• 22:30Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 22:30Speaker 01

  Yeah. Oh, he is very much with us. But he did tell me the other day that he, what he wants done with his ashes.

• 22:38Alex Cooper?

  Oh.

• 22:38Speaker 01

  And, um, I don't remember, I need to write it down, you know? But this looks like a nice place. Is that an urn? No, no, no. But what he said was, I just want to be with you. And I'm like, I don't think I can commit to eternity with my dad right now, you know?

• 22:53Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, I think that's like a little much.

• 22:55Speaker 01

  Yeah, like, I don't know. I want to see what my sister's up to. Like, I want to see what everybody else is doing.

• 22:59Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, like your husband.

• 23:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, like what, I'm just gonna be with my dad forever?

• 23:03Alex Cooper?

  Right.

• 23:03Speaker 01

  Me and my dad, like, that's it.

• 23:05Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, I think you can kind of do one of those where you're like, absolutely. And you look him in the eye.

• 23:10Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 23:10Alex Cooper?

  And then once he's gone.

• 23:11Speaker 01

  And I flush his ashes right into the sea.

• 23:18Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 23:18Speaker 01

  No, I'll put him somewhere nice.

• 23:19Alex Cooper?

  Do you think the people that wear like ashes like around their neck are a little?

• 23:23Speaker 01

  Um.

• 23:24Alex Cooper?

  Or do you do that?

• 23:26Speaker 01

  I don't wear jewelry at all because it like, I just feel weird. It looks weird on me.

• 23:30Alex Cooper?

  What?

• 23:30Speaker 01

  I don't know. It just looks weird on me. Yeah, I'm nothing. Yeah.

• 23:34Alex Cooper?

  Did you say I'm nothing?

• 23:35Speaker 01

  I'm nothing. I have no, I am not bejeweled anywhere.

• 23:39Alex Cooper?

  Not even an earring?

• 23:41Speaker 01

  No, I let my holes close, including my vagina.

• 23:45Alex Cooper?

  Gone.

• 23:47Alex Cooper?

  But the asshole, ready to go.

• 23:49Speaker 01

  Really ready.

• 23:51Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay, we're currently in Brooklyn in a random person's house. I like literally have no idea where we are.

• 23:55Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 23:55Alex Cooper?

  So they'll come in at any moment and kick us out. But until then, what would you say is the most New York quality about you?

• 24:02Speaker 01

  I think that I, uh,

• 24:05Speaker 01

  Like, don't give a fuck. And that like, just in terms of like, on the subway, or whatever, I'll be like, move in, you know? Like, this thing that, like, if it's just in you, and it's like, I should be like, trying to keep a low pro.

• 24:18Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 24:19Speaker 01

  But, you know, I just, I can't. And I'll just get, you know, involved in anything that goes on. And that's what's nice about New York is like, that, especially public transportation, everybody's like, together.

• 24:29Alex Cooper?

  The community aspect.

• 24:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, but, yeah.

• 24:32Alex Cooper?

  Wait, does anyone ever be like, fuck you, Amy Schumer? Like, get the fuck off. Like, what?

• 24:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, no. I mean, yes, but no. Like, you know, no, no, not really. I feel like, I'm like anonymous here, in New York. Like, no one cares. And they're expecting to see you. And they're almost like mad that it's either like, this is a famous person we're running into? You know? Can we get Rihanna? What the fuck?

• 24:58Speaker 01

  They expect to see me. They're like, where were you? We went to the Dirty Rock today. Yeah.

• 25:03Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay, you grew up in the city, but you were born in Long Island?

• 25:07Speaker 01

  No, I was born in the city, and then I grew up on Long Island.

• 25:09Alex Cooper?

  Okay, yeah, you got that backwards, sorry. Um, how would you have described yourself as a kid?

• 25:13Speaker 01

  I would say, I think I'm exactly the same. Uh, what, what, what is, what am I now? Um, I would say, like, my friends, loyal, psychotic, and funny.

• 25:25Alex Cooper?

  You were always psychotic.

• 25:26Speaker 01

  I was always psychotic. I was always just trying to make myself laugh.

• 25:30Alex Cooper?

  Oh, that's nice.

• 25:31Speaker 01

  You know, like, have a good time. I mean, and I would want to make my friends laugh and other people, but it was really about, I think, just trying to, you know, combat boredom and just like, have fun.

• 25:42Alex Cooper?

  Completely.

• 25:43Speaker 01

  Yeah. Entertain myself.

• 25:45Alex Cooper?

  I need to picture you like, in school, like, little Amy.

• 25:48Speaker 01

  Little Amy was voted the class clown.

• 25:50Alex Cooper?

  Classic.

• 25:51Speaker 01

  And teacher's worst nightmare. Uh, but I was...

• 25:56Speaker 01

  I played volleyball.

• 25:57Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 25:57Speaker 01

  So I was pretty serious about volleyball, so I wasn't like doing theater. But I did start plays when I was five, but then I I got real into volleyball and your soccer, right?

• 26:04Alex Cooper?

  I you did your research.

• 26:06Speaker 01

  Don't you like when someone's like, I guess I looked at Wikipedia and feels like a hero?

• 26:11Alex Cooper?

  Wait, did you wanna be like an actress growing up or did you wanna be like a pro volley?

• 26:16Speaker 01

  Well, I was like actress, but I got really into volleyball. And then I had a bad surfing accident.

• 26:22Alex Cooper?

  Oh.

• 26:22Speaker 01

  And so I was taken out for the season and I I I don't know if I could have played D one, but I was definitely going to play in college.

• 26:29Alex Cooper?

  Going somewhere.

• 26:30Speaker 01

  Somewhere, but I couldn't, you couldn't play volleyball and do the plays, so.

• 26:33Alex Cooper?

  Then you leaned into theater.

• 26:34Speaker 01

  Majored in theater.

• 26:35Alex Cooper?

  Okay, what was the most unhinged thing you did at school? Like you're the class con, like you're fucking shit up.

• 26:40Speaker 01

  Oh, God. I mean, I ran for, um, I believe I ran for president of student council as a freshman.

• 26:47Alex Cooper?

  That'll that'll that'll put a target on your back.

• 26:52Speaker 01

  Just to make a speech and but I I could be getting it wrong. It might have been junior high, but I I believe it was. I believe it was, I believe it was high school and I just, I made a speech and it was all lies. I talked about growing up on a farm in Iowa. I would, you know, if there was a bake sale, I would bring in a ton of toast. You know, and like have a sign like toast. Like I just was an idiot and just like thought I was so funny.

• 27:15Alex Cooper?

  Wait, that the confidence it takes if it was freshman year to go for president and seniors are looking at you like you fucking piece of shit back up.

• 27:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:24Alex Cooper?

  Like, where did you get confidence from like that?

• 27:26Speaker 01

  I know. I don't know. I really think my parents lied to me.

• 27:30Alex Cooper?

  So much.

• 27:30Speaker 01

  And I just believed it. And then when I found out they were lying, it was too late and I had this like inner confidence. And it was just too late.

• 27:39Alex Cooper?

  It couldn't be shaken.

• 27:40Speaker 01

  It couldn't.

• 27:41Alex Cooper?

  Wait, are either of your parents funny?

• 27:43Speaker 01

  Yeah. My dad, they're both funny. My dad's really funny. My mom is like, is funny.

• 27:49Alex Cooper?

  Cuckoo.

• 27:50Speaker 01

  Too.

• 27:50Alex Cooper?

  In a good way.

• 27:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:51Alex Cooper?

  I say that in a good way.

• 27:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they're they're both really funny. He's he's hilarious.

• 27:56Alex Cooper?

  How would you have described your social life? So you're funny. Like, did people like the funny kid or were you like alienated, no friends?

• 28:02Speaker 01

  I was cool. Sorry. No, I was, I was cool. I like, things weren't like easy. I had major trauma and stuff when I was like 12, you know, which I'm totally happy to talk about.

• 28:16Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I know your life kind of flipped upside down around like 10.

• 28:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. My dad got MS and we went bankrupt. Like, we had money. We were comfortable.

• 28:26Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 28:26Speaker 01

  And then we were like, poor. And my parents got a divorce and my mom started dating my friend's father. Like, it was a whole nightmare. And I, you know, I, I really,

• 28:45Speaker 01

  I, I really was traumatized and didn't think I was traumatized, you know?

• 28:49Alex Cooper?

  Of course. And then you look back.

• 28:50Speaker 01

  It was really hard, but I still had a boyfriend. I was still like, making jokes and,

• 28:56Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 28:57Speaker 01

  you know, going out and popular and that kind of shit.

• 29:00Alex Cooper?

  To go from like, being comfortable to then all of a sudden having your parents go bankrupt? Do you remember that conversation? Like, how did you find out? Cause usually that's an overnight thing, right? Where everyone's like, um.

• 29:10Speaker 01

  It was overnight, i- from what I remember. It was like, um, it, I mean, we went from like, living in what I would consider like a mansion, you know, by Real Housewives standards. Not, not decorated well or anything, but a big house with a pool and whatever, to a, like, you know, maybe two bedroom, tiny home. Or like, we moved every year. And we lived, we would live in someone's basement or someone's attic and that kind of stuff. And

• 29:45Alex Cooper?

  What happened? Like, did you?

• 29:46Speaker 01

  Well, it was like, I really feel like that part of it was all good. And so, you know, I can make fun of my mom and whatever, but I never, you know, I had, I always had like, This sounds bad, but I was gonna say, we always like had somewhere to live. We always had food. I was never like embarrassed of my outfit and like, you know, because also my friends didn't have any money.

• 30:06Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 30:06Speaker 01

  Which was nice. Like, none of us were dressed well. None of us had a nice car or a car, you know? It was, so there was no like class distinction.

• 30:17Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 30:18Speaker 01

  Or anything. And I was just like, you know, wanted, I, I just, my mom says that I was embarrassed of our new house. Like that I asked the school, but like, I, I don't know, something where I was like, can you drop me off somewhere else? Um, I don't remember that, but I don't remember the loss of money being anything that I really felt.

• 30:37Alex Cooper?

  Just like the relocation?

• 30:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 30:39Alex Cooper?

  Do you remember how it was explained to you? Like how your parents lost all the money?

• 30:43Speaker 01

  I don't remember that. I think it's just, it's, you know, it like trying to, the revisionist history that each of my parents give. Like, I really can't tell what's true.

• 30:55Alex Cooper?

  Of course.

• 30:55Speaker 01

  You know?

• 30:56Alex Cooper?

  That is like so disorienting when you become an adult because you're like, which one of you is a compulsive liar?

• 31:03Speaker 01

  Right.

• 31:03Alex Cooper?

  And am I gonna do that to my children one day?

• 31:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 31:07Alex Cooper?

  And like, are we all just completely remembering things in the way that allowed us to just move on?

• 31:12Speaker 01

  Well, it's, yeah, you're right. It's, it's, it's really disorienting and, and destabilizing because you're just like, is any of what I was told true? I don't at all know. I don't, I don't feel like I know anything about where, about my actual past.

• 31:30Alex Cooper?

  Can I ask you? Because I know you mentioned it earlier, like the, your mom sounds amazing. Don't you love, no, the preface, don't you love when like?

• 31:39Speaker 01

  Live for her, she's the greatest.

• 31:41Alex Cooper?

  Jennifer!

• 31:42Speaker 01

  Go Jen.

• 31:42Alex Cooper?

  I will say, it's so funny having like public platforms because my parents are always like, we love how you just like talk about us. And I'm like, well, it's my fucking life. Sorry. Um, I love the no socks. Wait, did you wear no socks with those shoes?

• 31:53Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, I live really close to here and then I'll just like go home and like, you know? And I wanted to show off my, no, my, my feet are really a bummer right now.

• 32:02Alex Cooper?

  You don't wear socks with shoes?

• 32:05Speaker 01

  No, I usually do. I usually do.

• 32:07Alex Cooper?

  What happened this morning?

• 32:09Speaker 01

  I just, um, I mean, I just like came over here. It took thirteen minutes in a car, you know? So, yeah, so no socks.

• 32:18Alex Cooper?

  Do you do that often?

• 32:20Speaker 01

  If it's like, I'm just gonna be out for a little bit, yeah. Well, how does that strike you? Like, is that, are you like, your feet are cold or?

• 32:26Alex Cooper?

  One feet cold.

• 32:27Speaker 01

  Is a nude foot like?

• 32:29Alex Cooper?

  Do you not even have nail polish on there?

• 32:31Speaker 01

  No, look at my nails, okay? Look at my, look at like, okay? My hand is shaking.

• 32:37Alex Cooper?

  She's literally exhausted, you guys, from holding the mic.

• 32:40Speaker 01

  I'm panting.

• 32:41Alex Cooper?

  Back to your mother.

• 32:42Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 32:42Alex Cooper?

  You're sorry. So your mom had an affair with your best friend's dad?

• 32:47Speaker 01

  Right.

• 32:47Alex Cooper?

  How was that told to you?

• 32:49Speaker 01

  It was told to me like, um,

• 32:54Speaker 01

  we're in love. I'm for the first time in love with someone. Um, I've, I realize I've never been in love before. And, um, and, and I was like conditioned to be like, well, I'm so happy for you. Go, girl. You deserve happiness. I love you so much. Like, you know, just kind of, you know, brainwashed to worship your parent, your mom and, um, and vilify my dad. And so, I was just kinda like, I got you, you know?

• 33:30Alex Cooper?

  Did you stay friends with that friend?

• 33:32Speaker 01

  We tried, but no.

• 33:33Alex Cooper?

  Did they end up like, living together ever? Like, your mom and the guy? Like, did it ever go?

• 33:38Speaker 01

  Viral? They, they were, they, they were together, I think, for like, two months.

• 33:44Alex Cooper?

  Oh, oh, quick.

• 33:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, like, almost destroy like a family. And then like,

• 33:51Speaker 01

  You know, I met someone new and like, and now I really know what love is. Like 10 times. God bless her.

• 33:58Alex Cooper?

  Love.

• 33:59Speaker 01

  She is so self-aware and we are in a good place.

• 34:03Alex Cooper?

  Love.

• 34:04Speaker 01

  But yeah, and you know what? And I, I really like judged her when I, when I was 30, cause I kept crazy journals. I read back from, you know, from 12 to 21, I kept these journals and I'm like, oh my God, this woman, you know, and then, but now that I'm a mom and I'm around the age she was, I'm like, look, you don't know.

• 34:28Alex Cooper?

  I know.

• 34:28Speaker 01

  Okay?

• 34:28Alex Cooper?

  Like, there's a lot of fucked up shit that goes on.

• 34:30Speaker 01

  Yeah. She kept a roof over our heads. I don't know.

• 34:33Alex Cooper?

  That's true. I also feel like when you get to that age, like again, like there, you're told such different things because you don't know really what's going on behind the scenes and your mom and your dad's relationship and all these things. And now that you're like married and you have a child, you're like, oh, I'm seeing it a little bit more clearly. Not that you would do that, but it puts the

• 34:50Speaker 01

  Unless one of my sons, like friends has a dad that's like at all, even a little interested.

• 34:59Alex Cooper?

  Then we're fucking popping over.

• 35:00Speaker 01

  Go.

• 35:01Alex Cooper?

  Are you someone that typically handles bad news? Well, like, do you like blackout? Are you people pleasing? Are you like?

• 35:07Speaker 01

  I handle it. I handle it well. I, I, I handle like kind of emergencies and that kind of stuff. Like I stay very chill. Just know that everything you're asking me in my mind, I'm like, and you?

• 35:18Alex Cooper?

  And you, you're not asking me a fucking question today. This is about you. We only got a certain amount of time. Like we are focused on Amy.

• 35:24Speaker 01

  Is someone coming in here after me?

• 35:25Alex Cooper?

  No. Oh my God. I only do one basically like a week. I gotta be, I gotta be lubed up for you.

• 35:31Speaker 01

  You are amazing.

• 35:33Alex Cooper?

  Um, you're not like on the casting couch and we're not rotating this shit. It's you and only you.

• 35:37Speaker 01

  Did you look up my favorite porn?

• 35:39Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 35:41Speaker 01

  Now I feel attacked.

• 35:42Alex Cooper?

  That's your favorite porn?

• 35:44Speaker 01

  No, not, no, but I had a phase with it. Sure.

• 35:46Alex Cooper?

  Oh, you did?

• 35:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 35:49Alex Cooper?

  Sure. What's your favorite porn?

• 35:52Speaker 01

  Uh, well, the thing is, and I was hoping this would come up.

• 35:55Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, I figured.

• 35:57Speaker 01

  I feel like I can't say it because, you know, a lot of porn is like from real life situations that go awry and then, and then I'm getting a massage or I'm in a car or I'm whatever. And I don't want like the driver or the, you know, I don't want them, you know, you have to live your real life.

• 36:14Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 36:16Speaker 01

  Um, so, you know, I'll tell you later.

• 36:17Alex Cooper?

  Okay. Yeah. You don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

• 36:19Speaker 01

  Is podcast porn a thing? They should make that where it's like, you're like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden.

• 36:24Alex Cooper?

  I'm like, Amy, give me that foot.

• 36:27Speaker 01

  Give me your bare foot.

• 36:28Alex Cooper?

  You start massaging your foot mid-interview.

• 38:26Speaker 01

  Right. I, well, I didn't start stand up until after college. I was 23. And I did not even think about the possibility of making a living from it. But the first time I got a college gig, and they were like, we're paying you $800 for one hour. And I ran,

• 38:48Alex Cooper?

  Oh my god.

• 38:49Speaker 01

  around my apartment, do like laps around my apartment. Like, it's like the best feeling I've ever felt. I was like, will, will I feel this good if I ever have a baby? And as someone who's had a baby? No. Okay. And I was like, oh my god, for an hour?

• 39:05Alex Cooper?

  $800? That's a gig.

• 39:07Speaker 01

  It was so far upstate. Colleges pay well. And it was so far upstate New York that it was like you flew into Canada. And just no one else wanted to do it. So I got it. And yeah, and then I was like, oh my god, if I can just make a living doing this, that's all I want. But then, you know, you, you start, you get there and you go, what's next, what's next, what's next? And so, yeah, and then like, you know, I really want to try and make a lot of money.

• 39:35Alex Cooper?

  We, after the roast of Charlie Sheen, I'd like, that was like, you're obviously like a huge moment.

• 39:40Speaker 01

  That was big.

• 39:41Alex Cooper?

  On your Wikipedia, at least. That's what it reads. Um,

• 39:43Speaker 01

  How often are you?

• 39:44Alex Cooper?

  Barbara Walters is back.

• 39:48Alex Cooper?

  Babs is here.

• 39:52Alex Cooper?

  I'm fucking dead. Um, how often are you using your roasting skills? Like, are you someone like fucking roasting your friends?

• 39:59Speaker 01

  Hmm, yeah, like my, yeah, your best friends. Like, that's all you do. We just trash each other the whole time. Uh, but yeah, my, my friends. Yeah, but really, like, I wouldn't do that to an audience again. I wouldn't do a roast again.

• 40:15Alex Cooper?

  Why?

• 40:16Speaker 01

  I just was young and like, didn't realize that people's feelings really get hurt.

• 40:21Alex Cooper?

  Ooh.

• 40:22Speaker 01

  You know, I mean, that's so, that sounds so stupid, but it was like, you know, and especially when you're starting out, you just think, okay, these people are so famous. I'm a completely unknown comedian. Who cares what I say? But then, you know, like, oh, that probably really did hurt that person's feelings or something.

• 40:36Alex Cooper?

  You think, well, I know it's hurt people's feelings, but I also feel like there's been like a random rise again. And like, the Netflix specials are roasts and people are roasting and people are like liking it. Like, obviously, we saw Nikki Glaser had like a huge moment because people were like, oh, my God, like, keep fucking roasting.

• 40:49Speaker 01

  Oh, my God, she killed. No, I love watching roasts and they're so funny. I just don't, like, I couldn't do it because

• 40:57Alex Cooper?

  You go too hard.

• 40:58Speaker 01

  I know, I absolutely go for like the jugular, bring a gun to a knife fight. But also, um, I don't know, like, I just feel, and with the audience, I wouldn't, you know, I used to be like, if you're like heckle me or something, like, you're gonna be handed your ass. And, and now I'm like, it's just better to diffuse it.

• 41:15Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 41:16Speaker 01

  And, and, you know, I, I think just from therapy and maybe becoming a mom.

• 41:21Alex Cooper?

  You're like, I kind of want like peace.

• 41:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, like, I, I don't, I will not feel better if I hurt you.

• 41:26Alex Cooper?

  But you're good at it. Good to know. It's in your arsenal.

• 41:29Speaker 01

  Oh, but, but hold on, with my husband, if we're talking shit about other people, like, you know, you

• 41:33Alex Cooper?

  Of course, every, every night.

• 41:35Speaker 01

  Well, the worst people in the whole world.

• 41:38Alex Cooper?

  I wish I could like be a fly on the wall.

• 41:40Speaker 01

  Disgusting human beings.

• 41:43Alex Cooper?

  Isn't it the best where you're like, no, I am a good person, but the shit I say with my husband?

• 41:47Speaker 01

  Oh, God. It's so, yeah. I mean, that's, I think that's why we, I think that's why we click so much. It's just the evil lurking beneath.

• 41:55Alex Cooper?

  Obviously comedy is like such a male dominated industry, not to get too fucking deep here.

• 42:00Speaker 01

  Well, whatever. They're all male dominated industries.

• 42:03Alex Cooper?

  Every single one. Yeah. We're talking about comedy today, but any other industry that you pick up, yes, it is male dominated at all times. But yours happens to be comedy. So we're going to talk about the men in that industry.

• 42:12Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 42:13Alex Cooper?

  Um, did you ever have an experience like that was so obvious to you where you were like, wow, I'm literally not being taken as seriously because I don't have a dick?

• 42:21Speaker 01

  I would say only every single day, all day, every moment of every single day, every day, all day.

• 42:32Alex Cooper?

  Wow.

• 42:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 42:34Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 42:34Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 42:35Alex Cooper?

  Yes. It's so sad.

• 42:37Speaker 01

  Mm hmm. It is sad and I would love to say something different, but the, the only thing to do is be in the highest position of power and call the shots because the second you're in somebody else's, you know, um, I was going to say ballroom. I'm like, I don't, I don't know. Like, why are you in a ballroom? But it's just if you're not at the, and even when you are.

• 43:04Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 43:05Speaker 01

  At the top of the food chain, it's still.

• 43:08Alex Cooper?

  Dude, it's crazy.

• 43:10Speaker 01

  It's, it's, there's no relief. And, and, um, I, I've, and any woman that you think might have it different does not.

• 43:19Alex Cooper?

  At all.

• 43:21Speaker 01

  And at no point ever. Yeah. Ever. Well, what's, there's like some Gloria Steinem quote.

• 43:26Alex Cooper?

  Oh, I love her.

• 43:27Speaker 01

  Yeah. It's like any woman who'd like, I'm going to butcher it, but like who decides to, you know, live an interesting life or something will be treated as a cruel joke and she'll need her sisterhood. And, and I'm sorry, cause I butchered it, but.

• 43:41Alex Cooper?

  No, no, no. The concept, I get it.

• 43:43Speaker 01

  And I wish it wasn't like that and I. God damn, I wish I wasn't like that.

• 43:47Alex Cooper?

  No, it is like, it's, I appreciate you saying that.

• 43:50Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:51Alex Cooper?

  As sad as it is, you're like, every day, every waking minute of my fucking life.

• 43:54Speaker 01

  Like, I want to be one time a promoter, but I'm like, no, every second of every day, every set, every, everything.

• 44:02Alex Cooper?

  And how sad that like, we are in these privileged positions. And I'm like, wow, like, I'm like, a privileged white woman, and I fucking feel it all the time. Like, can you, I-

• 44:13Speaker 01

  Everyone just thinks that women at, at any point might lose it, and they're just waiting for you. And so every day, it's like memento. You have to like, start over.

• 44:24Alex Cooper?

  Uh huh.

• 44:25Speaker 01

  And, and remind everyone that you're in your position for a reason, every day, every day. And I just want to say this, since you asked.

• 44:37Speaker 01

  Every year, you're in like, a chain, like a WhatsApp chat or a text chain with the other moms in class. I mean, with the other parents.

• 44:49Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 44:49Speaker 01

  And then they pick, they designate class moms. You know, they go like, and they, and they haven't changed it to be PC. They haven't made it to class parents.

• 44:58Alex Cooper?

  Okay, class mom.

• 44:59Speaker 01

  It's class moms. Cause the moms are the ones handling shit and communicating.

• 45:04Alex Cooper?

  Mm-hmm.

• 45:04Speaker 01

  And we text and whatever. And then once in a while, like, a dad will pop in there and we'll be like, Rick, are you lost? You know, like, the moms are really getting things done.

• 45:14Alex Cooper?

  Right.

• 45:15Speaker 01

  And, and I just like, think, like, I want people at home to imagine, like, imagine if your dad one year was in charge of planning your birthday party.

• 45:27Alex Cooper?

  I wouldn't have had one.

• 45:27Speaker 01

  No, okay? Your dad is like, I'm gonna handle it this year, okay? Any dad is like, I got it.

• 45:34Speaker 01

  And, or, or anything, or planned anything.

• 45:38Speaker 01

  They like communicate, they can't, and I think this is, and, and men are in charge of the world.

• 45:44Alex Cooper?

  It's terrible.

• 45:44Speaker 01

  The world. And that's why we're in so many wars. I think that it's not even on purpose. I think probably these men were probably just trying to plan a birthday party.

• 45:54Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 45:58Alex Cooper?

  Right?

• 45:58Speaker 01

  Someone quote that. That's gonna be like on the internet.

• 46:01Alex Cooper?

  No, like, no, you're right.

• 46:03Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying?

• 46:04Alex Cooper?

  It's so true and it's really, I appreciate you saying this because I was gonna ask you that today because obviously like the state of our world, we don't need to get into it.

• 46:11Speaker 01

  No, no.

• 46:11Alex Cooper?

  It's like, we would be here for nineteen hours and we would start crying.

• 46:14Speaker 01

  And we would kill ourselves, right?

• 46:16Alex Cooper?

  We would have a suicide pact. But I think especially as women, it's interesting because I've had people ask me like advice. And in some capacity, I try as fucking hard as I can, but I'm also like, like I mentioned earlier, we're privileged. And on top of that, like, it literally hasn't gotten that much better. If anything, it's like, people do it like sneakier around me, but I'm still experienced, like misogynistic fucks that are like essentially criticizing me for XYZ.

• 46:42Speaker 01

  Right.

• 46:42Alex Cooper?

  Um, or saying stuff about like, oh, if she, if she ever talked about sex, then she's just like forever a whore. Like, I feel like at one point, people really tried to pin you as just like a sex comic.

• 46:52Speaker 01

  Every, every woman is like a whore. What woman is, what, what woman like steps out of, into the spotlight and is not just like, you're a whore. And you're a whore.

• 47:03Alex Cooper?

  It's just the level of whore-iness. But why do you think men are so frustrated when women talk about sex?

• 47:12Speaker 01

  I think they're afraid of women and they're afraid, I, I really do. I think, I think, I think men are terrified of women. I think they're, it goes back to how they feel about their moms. I think they feel guilty about their mom. I mean, we all feel guilty about our moms.

• 47:28Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 47:29Speaker 01

  And, and just scared at everything we've ever seen, all the old movies, all the books, all the, you know, it's like, it's all from the guy's point of view. It's all the male gaze, the slow pan up from her heel. It's, and it's just starting to get better. And so if I were to say to Gloria Steinem, like, what the hell? She'd be like, it's so much better than it was. But what it was, was that not that long ago, you needed, you know, your husband to get a credit card. And

• 47:55Alex Cooper?

  We couldn't vote.

• 47:56Speaker 01

  We couldn't vote and like, you know.

• 47:58Alex Cooper?

  Here we are.

• 47:59Speaker 01

  And here we are.

• 47:59Alex Cooper?

  And here we are.

• 48:00Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:01Alex Cooper?

  Losing rights by the day.

• 48:02Speaker 01

  Yay.

• 48:03Alex Cooper?

  In your dating life?

• 48:04Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:05Alex Cooper?

  Did you ever feel like, because you were in the beginning so open about talking about sex? Did you ever feel like guys had specific expectations of you if you were going to hook up with them because of how open you were about bedroom stuff?

• 48:19Speaker 01

  That's a good question. I don't think they did. I, I think they could tell I was full of shit. You know, and I remember in college, I would kind of try to talk a big game and be like really confident, like, you know, Mae West, or maybe a more up to date reference. And then we would, like, I would go home with them. I remember I went home with this guy one time and he had like, I don't know, like pit bulls or Doberman pinch, I don't know, he had these like dogs and he was like, just, I think he had like an ankle bracelet on, you know, like he was on parole or something and like, we were, and we're like kissing and like, we're like in the laundry room of my dorm and it was like, it just all happened so quick and I was like naked and,

• 49:02Speaker 01

  and I was like, I am in way over my head. I am not this experienced sexually. I have been completely bullshitting this guy, trying to like act like I know something. And yeah, I still, but no, nobody ever,

• 49:15Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 49:16Speaker 01

  he, he knew I was full of shit too. He probably just wanted to.

• 49:18Alex Cooper?

  Those are the worst moments where you're there and you're like, wait.

• 49:21Speaker 01

  I was bluffing.

• 49:22Alex Cooper?

  I, I don't actually like this. Like I was like trying to say a big game and like, please stop.

• 49:27Speaker 01

  I'm actually super vulnerable and scared of your penis.

• 49:31Alex Cooper?

  Terrified. Behind closed doors, like in your twenties and thirties, how did you, like, what was your relationship to your sex and your body?

• 49:38Speaker 01

  I twenties and thirties, I think, like, I remember the, the first time, when I was a teenager and my first boyfriend was like fingering me or something and I was like wet and I was really embarrassed and I thought it was a bad thing. So I kept going to the bathroom and like wiping it up, you know, I had no idea. And, uh, and then in college, I think I was so drunk all the time. Like I, I just, I feel like my self-esteem was super low. Cause I went to Towson University and like, that was like number one for Playboy for hottest women that year. And

• 50:14Alex Cooper?

  Are you serious?

• 50:15Speaker 01

  So I was just like an actual troll with like the physique of Brian Cox. And I was like, you know, like I just looked like an MMA fighter and, you know, I'd have to wait, you know, like I would blackout. And so I, you know, I didn't even think about org, like trying to have an orgasm probably until I was. I probably didn't have the confidence to, to try and have the, the guy make me come until I was like in my 30s.

• 50:43Alex Cooper?

  Which I think is like probably more normal than not. Like I'm telling you, there are so many women that messaged me and are like, I literally have no, I don't, I don't feel anything. And I'm like, it's because like half of the time when you go to have sex for the first time, the guy is enjoying it. There, no woman is having an orgasm the first time or second time they're having sex. Like you don't know what you're doing. So I think that's like a normal thing to say.

• 51:07Speaker 01

  I have never come from penetration, ma'am. It's a scary thing to say out loud.

• 51:14Alex Cooper?

  No, it's not.

• 51:15Speaker 01

  I mean, it's scary because nobody talks about it, you know, because we're all like, you know, getting an Oscar. But. But no, I, I, you know, I've had generous partners who understand like that, you know, I need to orgasm first. And I know you subscribe to that.

• 51:32Alex Cooper?

  100%.

• 51:33Speaker 01

  On your Wikipedia, it says to make her come.

• 51:36Alex Cooper?

  Is that the third line or the fifth? Which one was that again? No, listen, I get it. Like I think in the early days of my show, I used to talk so openly, like over the top openly that maybe it made some people uncomfortable, but it was like, uh, almost like trying to go above and beyond to normalize it for women because it's not normalized for women. So I appreciate you saying that because I think there's so many women that are going to listen to this. Not that you need to be like the advocate for like, no coming through penetration, but it's.

• 52:05Speaker 01

  Well, it makes people really mad.

• 52:07Alex Cooper?

  It does.

• 52:07Speaker 01

  It makes people, well, I mean, not about me, but like, oh shoot, there was this documentary about this woman who had, um, uh, she was doing all these studies and was like, shoot, do you have an information person?

• 52:23Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, we can Google.

• 52:24Speaker 01

  The height report.

• 52:25Alex Cooper?

  The height report?

• 52:26Speaker 01

  Or the kite report.

• 52:27Alex Cooper?

  The kite report. The height or the kite. Very different, but could be.

• 52:30Speaker 01

  The height report.

• 52:31Alex Cooper?

  Height report.

• 52:32Speaker 01

  The height report. And she was like, she was reporting on women's real sexual experiences and like giving feedback. And she was like completely, of course, shunned and.

• 52:40Alex Cooper?

  Of course.

• 52:41Speaker 01

  Had to like move to Europe, which is what we do with all of our famous shun people. Like, do you pull your dick out when no one wants that? Go to Europe.

• 52:50Alex Cooper?

  No, I appreciate you saying that. I think there's a lot of people that have experienced that and I am absolutely not coming every time whatsoever from penetration, but my vibrator does the trick. God bless. God bless.

• 53:17Alex Cooper?

  Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Ritual. We are learning so much about how the gut microbiome is key to our mental health, immunity, and of course digestion. And I just feel like I didn't know any of this until recently, which is a problem because this is literally everything that we do need to know to take care of ourselves. But did you know, because now I know, the gut microbiome shifts during pregnancy, ladies, and these shifts can impact mom and baby's health in pregnancy and postpartum. And that is why Ritual created NADAL Biotic, a specialized biotic with clinically studied strains for pregnancy and postpartum microbiome support to support digestive health, mood, vaginal health, and baby's immune health.

• 54:01Alex Cooper?

  I have been trying so hard to take care of myself during this pregnancy, and I think something that has been very helpful is actually learning about the things that now I will carry, not only just during this pregnancy, but I will continue to take care of myself in a way that I really never have before. I think sometimes as women, we don't have the tools or we don't know what we're supposed to be doing. And so we sometimes just freeze and we don't do anything. And since having Ritual in my life, it has been so nice to have this daily ritual where I'm actually taking care of myself and my baby, which feels great. So whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or looking for everyday trusted daily gut support, get clinically studied biotics to support your gut health with Ritual. My listeners

• 55:45Speaker 01

  On stage. Doing stand-up, I think.

• 55:50Alex Cooper?

  That's amazing.

• 55:51Speaker 01

  Is it?

• 55:52Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, you feel you're most confident.

• 55:53Speaker 01

  What if I was like, as a mom? No, I'm like, okay. Um, yeah, cuz I'm like, you know, it's like, you're playing a little bit of a part, you know, even though my like, stage persona is pretty close to who I am. It's still like, you're in charge and empowered and, you know, whatever.

• 56:10Alex Cooper?

  When, obviously, like, I think every, again, woman in the industry, I'm not saying men don't experience it, but women, obviously, like, tenfold. Like, there's so much conversation about the way we look and who we are and our bodies and all of the conversations. And people feel so inclined to be like, I have so many thoughts about it, which is fucking insane. Was there ever a point around, like, the conversation around, like, how you looked, like, impacted your self-worth?

• 56:37Speaker 01

  I mean, it hurts to have a lot of hate thrown at you from the internet. It doesn't feel good. I was definitely coming up in comedy when it was, you know, the height of, like, people on the internet, like, letting you know, giving, giving me feedback. Um, yeah, and I, I don't know, I have always, I have always thought, I've always felt hot.

• 57:02Speaker 01

  I've, I've gotta say it. I've always felt hot. And then you have moments where you, you know, you look in the mirror and you're like, I'm Shrek. And then, but like, it's like, it's like I have a little secret that I'm like, I'm secretly hot. You know what I mean? And I've always had that. And I don't know, I'm 43. I'll see, we'll check in. Um,

• 57:22Alex Cooper?

  I think that's

• 57:22Speaker 01

  In a couple of years when we're both living in Europe.

• 57:24Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah, true. Fuck. This interview, like, everyone's like, get the fuck out. No, I think that's like, really great to hear because I, I, you can almost see when specific women that are public figures, because those are the only people we get to watch unless you're like staring at your neighbor, like a freak. Um, there, you can tell when someone's going through it. You can tell when like, everyone is picking her apart. Everyone is, and I'm always like, god damn, this is not natural. I wonder how she's doing. So it's nice to hear that you're like, I'm fucking hot bitch, shut up.

• 57:52Speaker 01

  I, like, I believe that I'm hot.

• 57:55Alex Cooper?

  You are.

• 57:55Speaker 01

  When I was going through, I guess it was like a year ago, and the internet really came for me after doing a bunch of press. And, um, and I was like, okay, everybody, like, relax. But then I was like, but, but then like, doctors were chiming in in the comments. And they were like, no, no, we think you like, something's really up. Like, your face looks so crazy that we think something's up. And I'm like, I'm like, wait, I'm getting trolled by doctors, you know? And they were like, we think you have something called Cushing. And it's like about spiking cortisol, like about, you know, cortisol levels and, you know, steroids, you know, injection, whatever. And I was like, wait, okay. I was like, fuck off. And then I was like, wait, I have been getting

• 58:39Speaker 01

  steroid injections, um, for my, um, in my scars. Um, oh, god, here, you know, you're, everybody in your audience is gonna wanna fuck me. Um, um, I had a breast reduction, you know, C-section, whatever. And I'm like, you know, And so I got these, was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome, which I wouldn't have known if the internet hadn't come for me so hard. So, right before I started filming, kind of pregnant, um, which you guys have to check out on Netflix.

• 59:11Alex Cooper?

  We're getting there.

• 59:11Speaker 01

  I was, uh, like before, right before we started rolling was when I learned I had this condition and that I had something called moon face. And then there's just, I'm starring in a movie and there's a camera right in my face and I'm like, and they're like, rolling. And I'm like, oh my God. And, uh, you know, I asked some of the people close to me and everyone's like, you look great, you know, but then you have like, your one friend from high school that's like, your face is looking like a little bit insane. And you're like, okay.

• 59:43Alex Cooper?

  I love you.

• 59:44Speaker 01

  Yeah. And so anyway, I got rid of, like, it just has to work itself out. There are two, there are two kinds of Cushing where, and one of them you could die.

• 59:52Alex Cooper?

  Oh, my God.

• 59:52Speaker 01

  And so for like 24 hours, I was like,

• 59:54Alex Cooper?

  I'm dead.

• 59:54Speaker 01

  Uh, yeah. So I was feeling really down on myself before I started filming this movie.

• 59:59Alex Cooper?

  I am so sorry, but I'm happy that you're okay.

• 1:00:02Speaker 01

  Thank you. Um, but I want to say something else.

• 1:00:04Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:05Speaker 01

  I was feeling so down on myself and I was like, really having trouble figuring out how I was going to star in a movie while I had this going on. And it just took one friend who, this girl, Lorraine, who lives in New Orleans, um, who's a director, Lorraine Cafferty, she, uh, she was like, you know what? And you know, I think you look fucking great and you're gonna, like, she just, and I just needed one person to just amp me up. And I, you know,

• 1:00:37Alex Cooper?

  Right, and you're like, let's go.

• 1:00:39Speaker 01

  Which is also, did you see the movie Young Adult?

• 1:00:41Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 1:00:41Speaker 01

  Oh, with Charlize Theron?

• 1:00:43Alex Cooper?

  Wait, no.

• 1:00:44Speaker 01

  Okay, you have to see this movie.

• 1:00:45Alex Cooper?

  Okay, okay.

• 1:00:46Speaker 01

  Anyway, that's just, I don't want to spoil the end for you, but,

• 1:00:49Alex Cooper?

  I'll watch it.

• 1:00:49Speaker 01

  You know, you just need one person to be like, go.

• 1:00:52Alex Cooper?

  I think that's like really incredible, but you did, the fucking toe, I can't, I can't.

• 1:00:57Speaker 01

  Wait, are you like Chelsea Handler, like you get grossed out by feet?

• 1:01:00Alex Cooper?

  Well,

• 1:01:00Speaker 01

  Oh, it's just that I don't have a, like a pedicure.

• 1:01:02Alex Cooper?

  No, I don't give a shit about the pedicure. I'm just shocked you don't have socks on. That's my only note and then I'm gonna keep it moving.

• 1:01:07Speaker 01

  Because of the cold?

• 1:01:08Alex Cooper?

  No, because like, who the fuck shows up to an interview with no socks on and shows up also with sneakers on with no socks on?

• 1:01:13Speaker 01

  Okay, but ma'am, you also are dressed like you're in hospice, so like, why? Like, but why?

• 1:01:18Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, I guess what?

• 1:01:19Speaker 01

  So why?

• 1:01:19Alex Cooper?

  You copied me.

• 1:01:20Speaker 01

  I did. I couldn't, you know how quick I wanted to come here? I mean, that's it. You dress like you're in hospice and I love it. It's like, yes.

• 1:01:27Alex Cooper?

  So cozy, it's so cozy.

• 1:01:28Speaker 01

  Come on.

• 1:01:29Alex Cooper?

  Um, can we talk about your husband?

• 1:01:31Speaker 01

  I'd love to.

• 1:01:32Alex Cooper?

  Chris.

• 1:01:32Speaker 01

  Chris.

• 1:01:33Alex Cooper?

  And he's a chef?

• 1:01:35Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 1:01:36Alex Cooper?

  Okay, is it true that if you are married to a chef, like, they never cook for you? Cause they're cooking all the time?

• 1:01:41Speaker 01

  No, that's, that's not true.

• 1:01:43Alex Cooper?

  Oh, my God, I have to tell my friend who literally is married to a chef and she's like, it just sucks cause he never cooks for me. She, he literally hates you. Wait, oh, my God. Oh, my God.

• 1:01:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, your friend's husband hates her.

• 1:01:54Alex Cooper?

  Oh, my God, they just got engaged.

• 1:01:56Speaker 01

  Well, that's gonna, that's gonna be called off.

• 1:02:00Alex Cooper?

  That's fucked up, he doesn't cook for her.

• 1:02:02Speaker 01

  I know, he's too, he does it so much, like, he's tired. This is, this is like, and, and Chris knows too, it's like, I can never leave him. Like, what, what? What am I gonna do?

• 1:02:12Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, you're indebted to him.

• 1:02:13Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's.

• 1:02:14Alex Cooper?

  What's the main dish?

• 1:02:16Speaker 01

  He, that's the thing. It's always, yeah, he's so, last night, he made shrimp pad Thai. But also, you know, I keep in the back of my head, you know, for a rainy day.

• 1:02:27Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:27Speaker 01

  I can just get takeout. Okay, but no, um, you know?

• 1:02:32Alex Cooper?

  Is that when you're in fights? And he's like, well, then I won't cook, and you're like, I'm already on DoorDash.

• 1:02:37Speaker 01

  I have never yelled at him, I can just get takeout, but I am keeping that tucked in the pocket.

• 1:02:42Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, it's kind of iconic.

• 1:02:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, we, uh, like, we get along, like, we're just, like, toxic together and, you know?

• 1:02:50Alex Cooper?

  Those are the best relationships.

• 1:02:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:02:52Alex Cooper?

  Um, when, obviously, you're like, very famous and, yeah.

• 1:02:56Speaker 01

  Thanks, thank you.

• 1:02:57Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, still at the height, you know?

• 1:02:59Speaker 01

  I try to remind him.

• 1:03:00Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, like, you're a big fucking deal.

• 1:03:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's like, can you, why don't you go in? And I'm like, I'm like, very famous, and he's like, okay, he just is not interested.

• 1:03:08Alex Cooper?

  He, he doesn't care, I was gonna say, like, what does he think of this fucking chaos?

• 1:03:12Speaker 01

  No, it's like the same with my son or my husband, it's like, your mom and like, you're my, like, I, like, You know, I think sometimes he'll try to empathize with it. Uh, he doesn't care.

• 1:03:25Alex Cooper?

  He doesn't give a shit.

• 1:03:25Speaker 01

  He doesn't care. He's been around, he like grew up on Martha's Vineyard.

• 1:03:29Alex Cooper?

  Oh, so he's rich?

• 1:03:31Speaker 01

  No, it's like on Martha's Vineyard, there's like the rich people and then there's like the people that work for the rich people.

• 1:03:36Alex Cooper?

  And that was him.

• 1:03:37Speaker 01

  And that was him. And, and you know, there's a nice community when like, and I feel lucky that I grew, you know, grew up most of my life, like very, like without any money because, you know, Chris had to really hustle to make it as a chef. I had to really hustle to make it, like didn't have a relative to ask for a hundred dollars.

• 1:03:53Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:53Speaker 01

  And, um, so, but he did grow up with like some famous friends and.

• 1:03:58Alex Cooper?

  Oh, that's kind of nice. Wait, how old is your child?

• 1:04:00Speaker 01

  I wanna say five.

• 1:04:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's five and a half.

• 1:04:05Alex Cooper?

  Wait, have you shown him any of your movies?

• 1:04:08Speaker 01

  He has seen Trolls 3.

• 1:04:11Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 1:04:12Speaker 01

  Which I did a voice in.

• 1:04:12Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:13Speaker 01

  And he has seen the moment in Trainwreck when I fall, like when I try to dunk. And he's, he came in a lot when I was editing, kind of pregnant.

• 1:04:22Alex Cooper?

  What does he think? Is he like mommy?

• 1:04:25Speaker 01

  He's like, he thinks that the stunts are funny.

• 1:04:28Alex Cooper?

  He does.

• 1:04:28Speaker 01

  Um, yeah.

• 1:04:29Alex Cooper?

  Like the Zamboni scene? Do you understand that?

• 1:04:33Speaker 01

  I don't think he saw the Zamboni scene.

• 1:04:35Alex Cooper?

  Why not? Too aggressive?

• 1:04:37Speaker 01

  Probably. It probably would have scared him.

• 1:04:39Alex Cooper?

  It's a little much.

• 1:04:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:04:41Alex Cooper?

  But the first couple hits were good. And then when you guys took out the whole like sidecar of the restaurant, I was like, Jesus.

• 1:04:48Speaker 01

  That was, I, I have to be honest and just say that that was not, the, the, that was not written by me, that part. And also the part in Trainwreck where I come out and dance was not my idea either.

• 1:05:01Alex Cooper?

  It wasn't?

• 1:05:01Speaker 01

  No, this is, this is, that's a male intervention.

• 1:05:05Alex Cooper?

  Okay, it was kind of funny. We'll give them that.

• 1:05:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:05:07Alex Cooper?

  The Zamboni was funny.

• 1:05:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:05:08Alex Cooper?

  Um, okay.

• 1:05:09Speaker 01

  And also thank you for like telling everyone the end of my movie.

• 1:05:13Alex Cooper?

  No, it's the beginning of the movie. Fuck, cut this, cut this. Something crazy happens on a Zamboni.

• 1:05:20Speaker 01

  No, nobody would, nobody would remember.

• 1:05:22Alex Cooper?

  No, no, no, no. And it's not too like.

• 1:05:24Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:05:25Alex Cooper?

  Well, I mean, you know. Not to, just to quickly, cause I know you've talked about this before, but, um, you. Talked about how your husband has autism. How did you guys like decide to be public about that? Not that you shouldn't. I'm just curious. Like it's kind of

• 1:05:39Speaker 01

  Well, I didn't ask him. No, I'm just kidding.

• 1:05:43Alex Cooper?

  One night?

• 1:05:43Speaker 01

  Well, we were, the, the way it happened was I was gonna document making this special.

• 1:05:50Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 1:05:50Speaker 01

  A stand-up special. And then I found out I was pregnant. And we're like, okay, great. That'll be part of the doc. And then I was so sick.

• 1:06:02Speaker 01

  I had something called hyper, hyperemesis gravidarum, which, this is good. Anybody listening? If you have severe nausea and vomiting and everyone's going, it's the first trimester. And you're like, mm, I don't know. Hyperemesis gravidarum.

• 1:06:18Alex Cooper?

  That's a word. Wait, hyper?

• 1:06:19Speaker 01

  Hyperemesis gravidarum.

• 1:06:20Alex Cooper?

  So it's a, like, slow, slow. Hyper.

• 1:06:23Speaker 01

  Hyper.

• 1:06:23Alex Cooper?

  No. Hyper.

• 1:06:26Speaker 01

  Hyper. It means like a lot.

• 1:06:27Alex Cooper?

  I know.

• 1:06:28Speaker 01

  Emesis means, means nausea.

• 1:06:29Alex Cooper?

  Emesis?

• 1:06:30Speaker 01

  Emesis. Emesis means vomiting.

• 1:06:34Alex Cooper?

  I just wanted you to say it slow so I could say it with you.

• 1:06:36Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 1:06:37Alex Cooper?

  Emesis?

• 1:06:37Speaker 01

  Emesis gravidarum.

• 1:06:39Alex Cooper?

  Graviderum?

• 1:06:40Speaker 01

  I feel like we're in like the craft and we're like

• 1:06:42Alex Cooper?

  Hyperemesis gravidarum.

• 1:06:45Speaker 01

  Like, we're gonna make this sound. But yes, and they really under diagnose everything with women.

• 1:06:50Alex Cooper?

  Of course.

• 1:06:51Speaker 01

  Including endometriosis. Hello, you're not supposed to have vile cramps.

• 1:06:56Alex Cooper?

  Classic.

• 1:06:56Speaker 01

  That's not normal. It usually takes 10 years to get a diagnosis for endometriosis.

• 1:07:00Alex Cooper?

  Fucking insane.

• 1:07:01Speaker 01

  Anyway, something's up.

• 1:07:03Alex Cooper?

  Yep.

• 1:07:03Speaker 01

  It's not just normal. You're not being dramatic. Anyway, and then my husband was on the spectrum. No, I'm just kidding. So then, um, after we were married, like a couple of months, he would just do things where I'd be like, it would be such a different response than I was, that he like sort of we were used to, you know? One time I fell and you know, it's like, everybody would be like, are you okay? You know, and he would just kind of like, like just stare, you know, and it was like, oh, and, uh, and he would also just say things in front of people. It's part of what I fell in love with was that he'd be like, you know, why is your like outfit so weird? Are you, you know, and says exactly what he thinks. And I was like, would you be interested?

• 1:07:47Speaker 01

  I, I just did like a little online test, just me. And I was like, oh, for my test, I was like, he's on the spectrum. And I said to him, would you be interested in learning more about your brain? Like, would you want to find out if you were on the spectrum? And he was like, yeah.

• 1:08:03Alex Cooper?

  That's a nice also way to like, approach something.

• 1:08:06Speaker 01

  Yeah. And he, had he said like, no, I would have been like, alright. But he went and he was tested and,

• 1:08:16Speaker 01

  yeah, and like, and it's, it's been amazing. Like, it's, it's been amazing for him. And for me, it's like, but it's because it's public and there aren't many adults out.

• 1:08:28Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:28Speaker 01

  Like, everyone's like, quiet about it because there's such a stigma. So it's, you know, I think he's like, really cool and brave that he's like, out there, like, yeah. And, and how many, I'm like, how many people do you know? Where you're like, this person's on the spectrum. Who cares? They're like, my favorite people.

• 1:08:47Alex Cooper?

  I agree. Like, I think it's nice. Obviously, it's not like his burden to bear, to be like, the poster child of, but like, Right. It's nice. I agree because there are so many people, but it's like, there's a stigma around it, which there shouldn't be.

• 1:08:58Speaker 01

  No, it's, it's stupid. And I remember when I was a kid, people were embarrassed about ADHD. And now, like, people, that's the second thing they'll tell you about themselves, you know? And so I just, I hope that it gets more normalized. And like, and I, you know, I feel like he's done his part and, um,

• 1:09:19Alex Cooper?

  I think it's great.

• 1:09:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, great. And you know what? I like, you know, he, of course annoys me. And like, there are days where I like, you know, want to kill him, but we, I would still choose him out of everyone I've ever met.

• 1:09:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:09:36Alex Cooper?

  I love it.

• 1:09:37Speaker 01

  And not just because he's a chef, but god, that doesn't hurt.

• 1:09:40Alex Cooper?

  And someone you can talk shit with? Done. Um, can we talk about your new movie, even though I ruined the entire ending?

• 1:09:46Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:09:46Alex Cooper?

  I'm gonna cut it.

• 1:09:47Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:09:47Alex Cooper?

  Did you have any more spoilers you wanted to?

• 1:09:49Speaker 01

  I'm gonna go through the entire movie. Um, no, I was cackling. I was saying to everyone this morning, I'm like, I, it was so nice seeing you lead another movie because you are so physically funny comedy wise. Like, no, the way you

• 1:10:05Alex Cooper?

  That sounds so creepy, but like move your body and you're just like very, very physically funny. And that is like a hard thing to do. Obviously you're like verbally funny.

• 1:10:12Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:10:13Alex Cooper?

  But you're just so fucking good.

• 1:10:14Speaker 01

  That's so nice.

• 1:10:15Alex Cooper?

  And it's an honor to sit on this couch with you.

• 1:10:17Speaker 01

  Oh my God, this is such a nice couch. Um, no. When I saw this like suede ass couch, I said, yes, no, that's really nice because I haven't. I haven't starred in a movie in a while. This script was sent to me, you know, and like, I'm like a little snot, like I won't do, you know, I'm like for, for me to like, give that much time and energy to something, I have to be into it. And I was like, I think this is a really good idea. A woman faking a pregnancy is so insane. Yeah. And, uh, and I just, there was like, the backbone was there, like the skeleton was there to like, you know, I, to, to, to shape a bunch of it.

• 1:10:55Speaker 01

  And, you know, I like, I'm trying to just show women having fun and being equals. You know, and like female friendships. And so it was like, that was all so there for me and clearly the point of the movie. Like it's, you know, it's described as a rom com and it is, but it kind of isn't. It's like more about like the, the love story of the friendships. So.

• 1:11:19Alex Cooper?

  The entire movie is like hilarious. It's like every single scene, I feel like just keeps ramping up, ramping up. Like the knife in the child scene. I was like, oh.

• 1:11:29Speaker 01

  Wait, now this movie, no one's gonna see it because it's like.

• 1:11:31Alex Cooper?

  No, no.

• 1:11:32Speaker 01

  When you stab the child.

• 1:11:33Alex Cooper?

  No, I didn't say that. I said knife in the child scene.

• 1:11:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. But do you now hear it out loud and like see that?

• 1:11:39Alex Cooper?

  Knife.

• 1:11:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:11:41Alex Cooper?

  Like it's a horror film. No, no, no. It is one of the funniest scenes.

• 1:11:46Speaker 01

  No children are stabbed in this movie.

• 1:11:47Alex Cooper?

  He's holding a knife.

• 1:11:49Speaker 01

  Okay. Look, I just like.

• 1:11:51Alex Cooper?

  They're like, Amy Schumer goes on Call Her Daddy and they talk about.

• 1:11:57Speaker 01

  There is, no child gets stabbed during the movie.

• 1:12:00Alex Cooper?

  No child stabbed, child holding knife, funny, funny scene.

• 1:12:03Speaker 01

  Funny, funny child knife, not seen and seen.

• 1:12:08Alex Cooper?

  And seen, um, but one of my favorite like themes in the movie is the fact that these women, it's all about timelines. And I feel like that is the most fucking realistic conversation I have on the show so often. It's like everyone comparing like the timeline here and oh, you're having a baby, but I'm not engaged yet, but you're divorced. And oh my God, and I'm single and I want kids or I'm doing IVF or I can't get pregnant. Like there's so much and the reason that we get anxious is because we're looking around and we're like, where am I? Where am I? Like, how, how do I fit in?

• 1:12:36Speaker 01

  Asking you.

• 1:12:38Alex Cooper?

  It's insane.

• 1:12:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:12:39Alex Cooper?

  How do you think this movie does a good job of like, kind of embodying the concept of like, stop constantly comparing yourself to other people around you?

• 1:12:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think, you know, this movie is about a, like, I think my character's Laney and she, when she's a little girl, loses her mom and is just like, doesn't want to be alone. So she's like, has the idea of like, wants a lot of family around her. And I didn't have a lot of family around me as a kid and I connected to that. And I would, my friends would have like big families and I would kind of go and hang with them and be like, oh, one day I want a family. And like, she just thinks that's a way to not be alone. And then, um, you know, realizes that you're, I mean, for me, my, my favorite times are with my girlfriends and like laughing and having a dinner or whatever.

• 1:13:33Speaker 01

  My, I'm really close with my girls from home and, and my friends that I've made since I've been older. And like, that's where a lot of my joy comes from. Um, I don't ever say joy in real life. So I feel like just because I'm on this couch. Can you just like, can you voice over and have someone say something I would say? Like, like what? Um, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. But.

• 1:13:58Speaker 01

  My good vibes and having fun. You know, it's like, I love.

• 1:14:02Alex Cooper?

  Joyful, yeah.

• 1:14:03Speaker 01

  I love my family, but you know, you're girls.

• 1:14:08Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, no, it's so true. And I feel like also as you get older, especially with kids or someone that's not having kids, like there feels like there can be this disparity within friendships where I have so many women write in being like, oh, my God, I like, I feel like I'm getting disconnected to my friend because she just got married and I'm single. And I'm like, I so get that that could be a feeling.

• 1:14:26Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:14:26Alex Cooper?

  But that, who gives a shit where you're each at? Like, the reason you're friends is because you like each other as human beings.

• 1:14:32Speaker 01

  Yeah. And I think I was the last one of my friends, like to have a kid.

• 1:14:37Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:38Speaker 01

  And I didn't, I was not someone who was like, always knew she wanted to be a mom. And yeah, it wasn't till, Chris was literally like, we're gonna have a family. And I was like, oh. But I am also like, if you were like, if someone's like, should I have kids? I'm like, probably not. You know, like, it's not looking good. You know, things aren't looking good. So.

• 1:15:03Alex Cooper?

  Right.

• 1:15:03Speaker 01

  I just, I think it's, and also I think people get intimidated. If you haven't like ever spent time around little kids, you feel confused. And so your friends can kind of alienate themselves because they're like, okay, I don't understand this and I don't understand children. But you know, you don't, you love your friends and you want them to be a part of your life. And but you don't want them to be uncomfortable. It's like, I would love for my friends who don't have kids to like, be in my life or my child's life.

• 1:15:33Speaker 01

  But because you, but then it's like you have a kid, you understand that I don't need, you don't, like, you don't need your friends to phone over your kid. You have such a good thing with your kid.

• 1:15:41Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:41Speaker 01

  And you know, they're cute and you know, they love you. So you don't, you don't need, and I think people think, oh, I'm supposed to play some other role.

• 1:15:48Alex Cooper?

  Like, you don't even need to mention like the kid's name.

• 1:15:50Speaker 01

  But I'll, I'll be like obsessed with some of my friends' kids and like.

• 1:15:53Alex Cooper?

  Right.

• 1:15:53Speaker 01

  You know, they're, but, but then also like, I don't remember all their names and like, it's like, you have your own, you're like, I'm good. Me and my kid are good. Like.

• 1:16:02Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:02Speaker 01

  You know, and but, but really, I'm not like, if someone were like, you know, I just don't feel like everybody has to have kids.

• 1:16:09Alex Cooper?

  No, and that's what I was gonna say. Like, I feel like people can read the room better. If you are a mother and you know, your friend has been struggling and whether she can't have kids or she doesn't want to have kids, stop being the one being like, let me just show you one more photo. Like.

• 1:16:21Speaker 01

  That's sick.

• 1:16:22Alex Cooper?

  Knock it off.

• 1:16:23Speaker 01

  My, every one of my friends, I would say. I would say like, almost 100% of my friends have had miscarriages. And, and I feel like lucky that we all like,

• 1:16:37Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:38Speaker 01

  feel comfortable sharing that with each other.

• 1:16:39Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:40Speaker 01

  Because like, it's so painful and, you know, whatever. I'm like gonna say, people don't talk about it, but they do, because I've heard people say they don't talk about it. But I just feel like, it's the, it's the most sensitive thing.

• 1:16:52Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:53Speaker 01

  I think for any woman, like, that's the most painful thing I can imagine.

• 1:16:58Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, and I feel like your, your movie though brings light to what is a very sensitive topic. And I, I found a lot of like, I don't know, I just enjoyed it because yes, there is so much negative around it of like, you, we aren't allowed to talk about this. And then it's like, oh, we're bitching if we talk about it too much. But if we don't open up about it, then we're not honest and real. And like, there's just so much that goes into being a fucking woman, like we've talked about this entire episode. Um, and I promise I'm wrapping up, but, um,

• 1:17:25Speaker 01

  I'm having the best time.

• 1:17:27Alex Cooper?

  You are, you are? Did you have a good time?

• 1:17:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:17:29Alex Cooper?

  Like, are you gonna leave here and be like?

• 1:17:31Speaker 01

  I'm gonna leave here and be like, feel like I just hung out with a good friend. I hope that's not embarrassing.

• 1:17:36Alex Cooper?

  No, no, no. I, I was so vulnerable in the beginning of this, telling you, I was like, kind of like a fucking fan. And I'm like DMing you like a creep. And now,

• 1:17:44Speaker 01

  That's so nice.

• 1:17:45Alex Cooper?

  now we have like cred. Like now if I DM you, you're gonna answer me not in like three years.

• 1:17:49Speaker 01
